One hour later.
Laura went to her father's bedroom and knocked on the door.
Simon opened the door. "What is it, daughter?" he asked.
"Father, can I ask you about something?"
"Sure, get inside," Simon said and opened the door wide for his daughter to enter. He closed the door behind him.
Laura sat on the chair in the corner.
Simon lowered himself on the chair facing his daughter.
"What do you want to know, daughter?" he said.
Laura cleared her throat and sighed a bit. "I want to ask you about Graven..." she began.
Simon's brows furrowed. "Huh? What about him?"
"Are Cooper and Graven close to each other?" she began with the safest topic first.
Simon frowned. "Based on Nicholas's narrative, the boys used to be close when they were younger and then drifted apart when they entered adulthood," he answered.
